He's more objective than the board. I do think a couple of those are low though. I'd bet on 4-5 Gophers getting drafted and AE going earlier than 105 overall.
If the QB play, OL play, and WR play is good to very good I could see 9 but IMO that’s a lot of ifs. I’d be satisfied with 8 for sure. But a lot depends on how good the QB situation is. If Brosmer was back it might be a different story.
